Temelco. seventeen-year-old Ionia High School football star, found sane by a commission of three psychiatrists, stood mute when arraigned Tuesday before Circuit Judge Morris K. Davis on a first-degree murder charge and a plea of innocent was entered for him. The trial date was not set.

V. jit- fc lr -x i i ill 1-3 Detroiters Urged to See WarFilm 'Just What the City Says Bugas of British Movie on Results of Loose Talk "That's just what Detroit needs," declared John S. Bugas, head of the Detroit office of the FBI, Tuesday after seeing a preview of "Next of Kin," the British War Office film that will have its Midwest premiee at a midnight showing in the Adams Theater Friday morning. "I wish everyone in Detroit could see it, Bueas said. "It parks more punch and drives home the lesson that careless talk may cost lives better than anything of its kind that I've seen since the war started." "Detroit," he continued, "is a vital war production center, more vital than any other city in the country, with the possible exception of the seaport cities.

For three years we have been trying to impress the people of Detroit with the danger of loose talk. No one, I think, will be able to forget that danger after seeing this film." USO TO GET PROCEEDS The pre-dawn premiere at the Adams Friday morning is being sponsored by the Free Press, with all proceeds, exclusive of the Federal amusement tax, to go to the Detroit USO. Tickets, at no advance in prices, will go on sale at the Adams box office late Thursday night and a sellout of the 1.800 seats is expected before the curtain rises a half-hour after midnight. There will be no advance sale and no reserved seats. A full program will be presented, with "One Dangerous Night," starring Warren William, as the second feature.

Local film-company representatives and critics who saw Tuesday's preview were impressed with the entertainment value of the picture aside from its educational feature. Suspense is built up almost from the opening scene, when plans are laid for a Commando raid on a Nazi submarine base in France, to the climax when the British troops land and are met by withering fire from a well-laid ambush. SPIES' METHODS EXPOSED Each step by which Nazi agents learned of the coming raid is portrayed. Spies, outside of one striptease dancer in the mm, are not glamorous temptresses, but ordinary-looking persons who pick up bits of information from conversations with troops and munitions workers. Bugas added his praise of the picture to that of J.

Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, who was so enthusiastic that he consented to make a prolog for showing with the film in this country. In this prolog, Hoover said, 'T hope this film will show you that no matter how unimportant you may feel in the war effort, you may hold in your hands the life or the death of American soldiers." Dog Owners Get Warning With the new dog-licensing date near, Dr. Bruce H. Douglas, Detroit health commissioner, Tuesday warned owners not to turn loose their pets. Stray dogs can add to the rabies menace, he pointed out.

The date for renewal of dog licenses is May 1 and, it was feared that the cost of new taxes, combined with the inability of owners to get meat for their dogs, would result in more being abandoned. "Such dogs find their way to outlying districts in search of food and are likely to encounter other dogs infected with; rabies," Dr. Douglas said. He said that dogs which cannot be fed should be destroyed to save them from hardship. Fake Major Is Arraigned Charged with illegally wearing a United States Army major's uniform, Ross B.

Johnson, 28 years old, of Lapeer, son of George A. Johnson, president of the Johnson Milk was released on $500 bail Tuesday after being arraigned before United States Commissioner J. Stanley Hurd. Johnson stood mute when arraigned and waived examination. Johnson explained he wore the uniform during his free time and told friends he was on a secret mission for the Government.

He is mar ried, has one child, and is a graduate of Northwestern University. The Weather DETROIT AND VICINITY Colder Wednesday forenoon with fresh, winds diminishing- later in the day.

The answer, given by local OPA officials and Ration Board members is that, so far, the Washington Office hasn't got around to notifying them officially that the rules have been changed.

They don't know, for example, to how much gas the man on leave will be entitled. LOCAL OFFICE SWAMPED, Edward T. Broadwell, Detroit district OPA gasoline rationing officer, and one of the staunchest advocates of giving service men gas, admitted Tuesday that the District Office and the local boards were being swamped by requests from service men. "Why, one Marine even came in here and was ready to take the place apart because we had to turn him down," Broadwell stated. Anxious to obtain some relief for the local board members, Broadwell appealed to Washington Wednesday, asking permission to put a local interim plan into effect until the official orders are forthcoming.

"I was told I had better not," he said, "because the official notice would be along soon. They said it was in the mill." Another OPA official, overhearing Broadwell's statement, snorted. "In the mill, eh," he said. "Why, it takes 48 hours to get a request for a new pen-wiper through the mill. I hate to think how long something important will take." Barron Opens Defense in Bribery Trial Defense testimony in the four-week-old Herman Gardens housing bribery case before a jury in Recorder's Judge W.

McKay Skill-man's court opened Tuesday with S. Brooks Barron, Detroit attorney, taking the stand. Barron, Dr. Lyle C. King, a former deputy Wayne County coroner, and the Huron Portland Cement Co.

are accused of conspiracy to bribe councilmen in helping the A. Smith-Lipman Construction of Chicago, obtain the $8,330,000 Herman Gardens contract. Judge Sklllman earlier had denied all defense motions for dismissals or directed verdicts. Barron said that William S. Lipman, of the Lipman Construction retained him to attempt to get a public hearing for the concrete interests before the housing commission, which favored steel construction.

Barron testified that he took Lipman to the home of Mrs. Josephine Gomon, secretary of the commission, and offered Mrs. Gomon part of his fee from Lipman to get a public hearing for concrete. She refused, Barron said. He quoted Mrs.

Gomon as saying, "The commission apparently is not interested in good housing. There's no question but that something is wrong and I'd like to do something about it." Barron will resume his testimony Wednesday.

-Last week, to keep the action within the statute of limitations, Colombo filed suits on behalf of 738 City employees due upward of $300,000 for pay withheld by the City in 1932. In May and June of 1932, when tax returns were sluggish, Detroit held back half of the pay of its employees. In 1937 the employees were given half the money due them but the' balance never was paid. Colombo said additional suits would be filed. Thieves Miss $1,134 in Stolen Automobile Thieves who stole the automobile of Mrs.

Stanley Hurd, continued his bond of $2,000 to await action by the Grand Jury. Orlando, recently arraigned before Federal Judge Edward J. Moinet, was released on bond of $2,000 pending his trial.

si 2 Daughters Die; Slayer Kills Self Berserk Parent Offered to Spare Children if Abused Wife Returned Special to the Free Prei BAY CITY, April 27 Two little girls were shot to death Tuesday and their two sistcr3 wounded by their father who, enraged with unfounded jealousy of his wife, lined them against a bedroom wall and fired two blasts from a shotgun at them as police hurled tear gas into the home where he had barricaded himself. The father, Cecil J. Lisk, 44 years old, then killed himself with the same weapon. The murdered girls were Lisk'a daughters, Vivian, 5, and Katlv leen, 2. Geraldine, 10, was wounded critically in the chest and Bernice, 8, was shot in the thighs.

WIFE TELLS OF BEATING The tragedy climaxed a quarrel which began at 11 p. m. Monday when Lisk's wife, Josephine, 40, leaped through a first-floor window to escape from her husband, who, she told neighbors, was beating her with a hard-rubber hammer. Police rushed to the LKk home at 704 S. Henry and it, but Lisk kept them at bay, brandishing a shotgun and threatening to "kill everyone." It was then that Lisk lined his four daughters against the wall, and officers and neighbors could hear their terrified shouts of come in; he'll shoot us," which the children repeated again and again.

Unable to calm Lisk, police sent neighbors to reason with him, and they returned with his ultimatum that his wife be led to the foot of the stairs if he were to "spare the children." Lisk was standing on the upper landing of the stans, clutching a double-barreled shotgun. Police Chief Frank W. Anderson and Assistant Prosecutor F. Norman Higgs, called by patrolmen to quell the outburst, ordered a volley of tear gas fired into the home. Within two minutes, officers heard two shots, then a third a moment later.

When the tear gas had cleared away, police found the four children, wounded, in an upstairs tvl-room. Three of them were on a bed. the fourth on f-y. Two of them died several ho later. Lisk was in the basement, part of his head shot away.

He lived but a short while. SANITY QUESTIONED Last November, after Lisk had been arrested for beating his wife, she asked Probate Judge Raphael G. Phillips to commit her husband to a State hospital. Phillips had no power to act, he said, in the absence of a statement by a physician that Lisk was insane, and so advised Mrs. Lisk.

She subsequently withdrew the request. Lisk was a welder, but had been unemployed in recent years and two sons supported the family. The eldest, Harold, recently entered the Army and the other wanted to enlist The latter, Cecil, 17, attempted to persuade his berserk father to surrender, but was ordered from the house under threat of death. Mrs. Lisk was in Mercy Hospital Tuesday, along with her two wounded daughters, undergoing treatment for bruises inflicted by her husband and for severe cuts she suffered when she jumped through the window.

Former Army Flier Shoots Wife and Self Special to the Free Presi MUSKEGON, April 27 Apparently angered at his wife's plans to return to her home in Denver, Albert Lemke, twenty-four-year-old discharged Army Air Forces flier, shot and wounded his wife, Olga, 28, Tuesday afternoon and then fired a fatal shot into his own temple. The double shooting occurred at the home of Lemke's brother, Edward, 1767 Getty. The victims lived at 1820 Merriam, Muskegon Heights. Coroner Thomas C. Clock said Albert was discharged from the Army two years ago following a crash landing.
